Next best thing to real hardware
The Fairchild Collection completes the Holy Trinity of classic studio compressors. With these, the 1176s, and the LA2As, one can have a virtual rack full of the best compression hardware ever made. These come so close to the sound of the real things that it's fair to ask why anyone not running a famous high-dollar studio would want to bother buying and maintaining actual hardware.
The Fairchilds specifically bring a sense of weight and depth that is rarely available in plugin form. The saturation and coloration possibilities are very nice to have, and the compression action is spot-on. Bravo.

Classic UAD improved tenfold
Seriously incredible piece of gear in your virtual rack. The original Fairchild was amazing, and added a thick character to anything you applied it to. UA continues to put out top notch product, and this update is a perfect addition to their updates on classic uad1 plugs. LOVE the new Fairchild, and it's already ended up in every single mix.

Warm and Wonderful!
This plug-in is just plain fun to use. Covers the gamut of compression from mild to subtle distortion. Great on a multitude of tracks.

Amazing Fairchild sound with a mix knob
Using parallel compression is awesome, but setting it up in pro tools native is often problematic. Using the mix knob on this fairchild plugin makes mixing quick and trouble free. This plugin sounds great on vocals, bass, drums, and stereo busses. So much attitude! Easily go from clean to dirty compression in seconds.

Warmest compressor ever !
I am always looking for adding some analog warmth to my digital sound as I use a big part of plugins and a few analog synth. The fairchild is probably one of the most colorful compressor, it has a lot of warmth, add more clarity and a pleasant distortion.
I like using it on vocal to give more punch, on drum buss to have a warm snare sound and on a bass sound for the distortion.
The upgrade is worth the 149$ or 99$ with a voucher if you are looking for a color in your sound. It works on almost everything.
The legacy version is not bad but the collection add more details and clarity.

Beautiful Beautiful tone!
Just picked this up a few days ago. Absolutely beautiful tone! Very different tone from the LA-2a and 1176. The original Fairchild sounded great, and this is even better! Sounds amazing on everything I've tried it on. Really shines on vocals. Now I see why this compressor is so highly sought after. Just like the LA-2a and 1176, it adds a certain "magic" to any track. Pretty big hit CPU on my UAD Quad, but no complaints from me. It's worth it for the tone. Nothing but smiles every time I use it. Another winner from UAD. I'd highly recommend it. Completely satisfied. Can't stress enough how amazing the tone is! Love it!

A MUST HAVE!
As the lead engineer at Chris Paul Records, this is a must have for kicks, bass, or even mastering. It makes things louder with little or no distortion. You can definitely push the envelope.

Ho provato questo plug- in sulla chitarra ritmica, sul basso elettrico ed acustico e sulla steel guitar: semplicemente FAVOLOSO!!!!!! Calore,corposità degli strumenti,dinamica sono presenti a livelli mai percepiti per un plugin. INIMITABILE!!!!!!!!

Winning
I needed a new user interface so I decided to get the Apollo quad. I really was not expecting much from UAD plugins. After all, how could a plugin sound like the real thing? never the less I bought UADs expensive plugins only to find out that UAD is in fact the best hardware emulating company the world has ever seen. Every plugin seems to be worth more than the price paid. Among the plugins I bought is the fairchild emulator. I notice that it adds dimension to any sound that passes through it. To make a long story short, just try it. I assure you, if you do , you will buy it.

Fairchild plug in Is almost the real thing
After using a real Fairchild and then having the UAD Fairchild plugins i would have to say these plugins are so close to the real Fairchild only someone that has had the experienced the real Fairchild and extensive time using will know each has its own warmth and will believe Universal Audio has duplicated this in the plugin. I highly recommend this plugin.

Excellent!
I don't have a real Fairchild sitting around to compare, but this version excels on it's own merits. The mix knob is worth the price of admission by itself. I also like that you can instantiate this plug on a track without compressing and just add some nice coloration. Well done guys!
